Father Paul Guzman, an associate priest at Most Holy Redeemer in Evergreen Park, has been directed to step away from the church as an allegation of sexual abuse of a minor is investigated.
An associate pastor at an Evergreen Park church has stepped aside after the Chicago Archdiocese said it was informed of an allegation that he sexually abused a minor some 40 years ago, before he entered the priesthood.
Guzman was directed to step aside from ministry immediately and to live away from Most Holy Redeemer Parish when he returned from his military service, according to the letter.Guzman serves as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Reserve and was stationed as a chaplain at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti in Africa, according to the Navy.
“It is important to remind everyone that, while the Archdiocese takes every allegation of child sexual abuse seriously, the fact of an allegation does not presume guilt,” Cupich wrote.He was ordained in May 2012 by Cardinal Francis George and initially assigned to St. Damian in Oak Forest, according to the archdiocese.
